Insulin Resistance & Menopause: What You're Not Being Told #042
Summary
Think you'd know if your metabolism was struggling? Think again. Insulin resistance affects a staggering 90% of American adults—and most have no idea. In this episode, Leah Vachani breaks down why this metabolic disruptor is especially problematic for women navigating perimenopause and menopause, how it silently drives weight gain, hormonal chaos, and chronic disease risk, and why your doctor probably isn't catching it.
Most importantly, Leah shares her four-pillar approach to reversing insulin resistance through practical dietary shifts, smarter movement, and lifestyle changes you can start today. If you're over 40 and feeling like your body isn't responding the way it used to, this one's for you.
